    We can either live for Jesus or live for the pleasures of this world. Reading, memorizing, and meditating on God's word is not enough! To draw nearer to the Lord we simply must put His words into action by imitating those who imitate Christ!

     | 2,764 views

    If John the Baptist was on social media, what would he post? What would he share about himself? He might truly resonate with the song by Casting Crowns - "Nobody, Somebody, Everybody."

    I’m not very good at social media, but you probably already know that if you’re on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. I don’t post very often - except to give away bread. When I do, I don’t take very good pictures - in fact I sometimes re-do old pictures - especially of bread. I suppose in some ...read more

    Even those of us who call ourselves followers of the Christ find ourselves at times with a yoke weary and heavy laden.And when the yoke is heavy we become more vulnerable to sin and to self condemnation. Yet take heart "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

    The life of discipleship has three steps: attachment, understanding, and imitation.

    God is unquestionably the world’s greatest fisherman. And he’s not at all offended by the description, either, because that is what he called us to be. And the first thing a fisherman has to know is what bait the fish will bite on. God got me good. Back in ‘83 I was Miss Corporate America, junior ...read more

    To be a true disciple of Christ, to be assured of eternal life, we must never be ashamed to confess His holy name. We must also be willing to follow Him always, forsaking our own desires and even our family and friends.

He says that Jesus told His followers, “in no uncertain terms, that in order to be His disciple they must place Him above all else.” He explains that “above all else” means ...read more
